Chapter 93 - New governance plan
In the office of the Crown Prince, the newly appointed Prime Minister Bretianu is handing the Crown Prince the list of cabinets of this government. He had been to the old King Carol I before. Although the old king didn’t take care of his affairs, according to the usual practice, the Prime Minister still had to submit a cabinet list to the king, which would take effect after the king approved it. But this time the old king directly asked him to sign with the crown prince, which made him more certain of his thoughts.
“This is the list of cabinets for this term. Please look at your Royal Highness to see where there is something inappropriate.” Prime Minister Bretianu lowered his posture in front of the Crown Prince, because this was his former Prime Minister Sturley. As a result of his study, the old prime minister who can control the Romanian government for ten years is the biggest advantage. Prime Minister Bretianu also doesn’t mind studying hard.
Eder took over the list of Prime Minister Bretianu and looked at it. The new prime minister is very clever. He keeps all the people that Edel values and promotes, and puts them right after his name, giving people a feeling that he will still listen to the crown prince.
After reading the cabinet list, Edel bowed his head and signed it, and then handed it to Bretianu. “Your Excellency, I hope Romania will become stronger under your leadership.”
“His Royal Highness, the work of our government still needs your guidance to do better.” When facing the crown prince, Bretianu was sober, knowing that he had to listen in reverse, and he really had to make his own decision and estimate that he would be the prime minister for a year. Can’t go down.
Edel sat behind the desk, looked at Bretianu in front of him, and asked thoughtfully. “Mr. Prime Minister, what do you think is the most important job in Romania right now?”
After Bretianu heard what the crown prince said, he knew it was time to show his abilities. He sorted out his thoughts and talked about it.
“His Royal Highness, I think that in Romania, what is needed most now is to strengthen the advantageous industries, such as our domestic automobile manufacturing, internal combustion engine, petrochemical industries, etc., which have performed very well. The focus of our government in recent years is to ensure the operation of these good enterprises. In terms of agriculture, Romania is a big producer of agricultural products, but in terms of the yield per mu of land, there is still a big gap with other countries. This is also the direction we should strive for.”
Prime Minister Bretianu continued talking about diplomatic issues after finishing talking about the country. “His Royal Highness, the situation in Europe is very tense now. We cannot be too biased to one side, otherwise we risk being drawn into the camp. I think we need to show goodwill to every country that can help us.”
Edel understood what the Prime Minister meant. He believed that the too close relations with Germany now have affected Romania’s national interests. Now it is necessary to focus on improving diplomatic relations with the Allied countries. He and the Prime Minister have considered this point together.
Eder looked at Prime Minister Bretianu who had said his ruling philosophy, and thought in his heart that this Prime Minister is still a very smart person, but he still does not have a better understanding of Edel, a person from later generations.
“Your Excellency Prime Minister, I am very satisfied with your answer, but there are a few points I need to add. First, in agriculture, we must not only increase the output, but also expand the planting area. This needs to improve our agricultural farming level, the current storage farming The limit has been reached and this model can be changed. Mechanization will be the new breakthrough point.” Edel stated his first requirement.
“His Royal Highness, I will organize personnel to study this issue after returning to the government and come up with a plan as soon as possible. However, I need your Highness’s help in terms of machinery.” Prime Minister Bretianu replied. He knew that the crown prince had built a new machinery factory, and the agricultural machinery it produced was now very popular. If the crown prince can lean more towards Romania, his job will be much easier.
“I will instruct the Ploiesti Machinery Plant to keep more agricultural machinery for the country.” Edel told the Prime Minister.
“Thank the crown prince for his love to the people of the kingdom.” Bretianu gave the crown prince a little flattering.
Seeing that the Prime Minister had no objection to the Crown Prince’s agricultural requirements, Edel continued. “Second, regarding the health and education of the people, the Prime Minister also needs to pay more attention.”
“His Royal Highness, I will pay more attention to this aspect, but the government’s finances are not too rich. I can only try to improve this aspect.” Increase the amount of money in the two major spending items of education and health, even as the prime minister. Bretianu did not dare to easily agree to it. You must know that the sum of these two expenditures is higher than the military expenditure, and adding a little is not a small amount.
Eder saw that Prime Minister Bretianu did not dare to agree easily, so he had to lower his request. “Then the medical and health aspects should be improved first, so that the people of the kingdom can feel the benefits of Romania’s development.”
“It should make the people feel that Romania has changed.” Prime Minister Bretianu knew that this was the last condition of the crown prince, and he could only agree to it. Fortunately, the medical and health funding is not so exaggerated, and I can cope with it.
After the crown prince gained control of the government, he no longer continued to persecute the prime minister. This time it was just a test of Bretianu’s attitude towards him, and he felt that he could still be in control.
Prime Minister Bretianu got the approval list from the crown prince and walked out of the palace. After coming out, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that the rumors are indeed true, and the crown prince is quite shrewd and not easy to fool at all. Fortunately, I have already thought about it before, otherwise I still can’t pass the level. Of course, what he said to the crown prince was not foolish, nor dare to fool. These are all the ruling policies he thought of before, and now the crown prince has added two more to him, which has doubled the pressure on the new prime minister.
After seeing Bretianu come out, a large group of Liberal Party leaders surrounded him, and his cousin Wendiller asked. “How about the Prime Minister’s visit to the King this time?”
In front of the senior Liberal Party, he was too close to behave badly~www.mtlnovel.com~ His Royal Highness approved the cabinet list. “
Hearing that the list was approved, a group of senior Liberal Party leaders were also very happy. Before, the prime minister took the cabinet list and was beaten back by the king to change it again. Wen Tiller noticed that his cousin used the term “His Royal Highness”, and now only the crown prince was able to approve the cabinet list with the status of His Highness, so he asked. “Prime Minister, is it approved by the Crown Prince?”
“Yes, His Majesty asked me to submit the cabinet list to the Crown Prince for approval.”
Hearing the words of Prime Minister Bretianu, everyone recovered from their excitement. Faced with this new situation, everyone is thinking about the changes. Prime Minister Bretianu glanced at Karituli, who was also in the welcoming crowd, thinking that Sturlier’s nephew was really fate. In the political arena, there is an old fox escorted by him. If he has some achievements, he is valued by the crown prince. I heard that the crown prince takes the initiative to make him a confidant. Who is better than him for this opportunity? Karituli in the crowd. I don’t know that I was just jealous of the Prime Minister.
This is what Wendiller said. “This situation should come out soon. Let’s go back and discuss it first. It’s not good to stay at the gate of the palace.”
Everyone heard that this was indeed the case, so they boarded their cars and prepared to go back to discuss it later. Wendyler looked at the people who were all in the car, and got into the same car with the Prime Minister.
“What’s the matter with Wentiler?” Prime Minister Bretianu waited a while after seeing his cousin in a car with him. He knew that his cousin should have something to tell him.
Sure enough, Wendiller said something more important. “Cousin, the ambassadors of Britain, France, and Russia hope to visit you.”
Prime Minister Bretianu said after a meditation. “After I went back, I told them that I welcome their visit very much.”
